  • Are Your Supplements REALLY A Lie?
    Apr 10 2024

    "What if everything you knew about supplements is wrong?" "Could the pills you take daily do more harm than good?" "Are you a victim of clever marketing rather than sound science?"


    In this riveting episode of Take On Healthcare, pharmacist Mary Sheehan and naturopathic doctor Ted Suzelis cut through the nonsense in the dietary supplement controversy. Plunging into the heart of controversy, they reveal the unseen, the unheard, and the unbelievable about the vitamins and herbal concoctions lining the shelves. Inspired by Johnny Harris's polarizing views in "Your Supplements are a Lie," Mary and Ted take a stand, challenging the status quo and dissecting the industry's boldest claims. They dissect the truth from treachery in the health claims you've been fed, expose the regulatory wild west of this billion-dollar business, and guide you to an enlightened choice about what you put into your sanctuary—your body.


    This episode isn't just a conversation; it's a crusade for clarity in a field riddled with riddles. It's an exploration for those who thirst for truth in an ocean of exaggeration. As we unpack the reality and rip apart the myths, you're invited to join the ranks of the informed. Don't just swallow the pill—question it.


    "Are Your Supplements Really a Lie?" isn't just an episode; it's essential listening for anyone who values their health as much as their skepticism. Tune in to Episode 6 of Take On Healthcare, where we don't just take on topics—we take them apart.
